world, and it is fair to say that they possess
IN themselves at least fifty per cent of the at
fractions of the village. All three cost so
much that the original investors in two of
them failed, and the only reason the third
did not pass through that doleful experiences
that it is Improperly ofthe he rs of the late A.
T. Stewart, the millionaire dry-goods mer-
chant, who are placed like the hero in the play
Of "Richelieu," in whose bright lexicon there
was mo such word as fail" The smallest
of the three cost sS02O0O, and the other two
cost 81 ,100,0 900 and 81 100000 respectively.
The two whose owners failed could not re-
turn the interest on their cost until the orig
inal cost was wiped out and new start was
had on the basis of the new and low-price
they fetched after bankruptcy.
These houses are built of brick, and each
one is five stories high and arranged in the
form of three sides Of a hollow square,
with park or garden in the middle. They
are so large that these interior gardens are as
big as several city blocks. In these inner
courts are great trees, ample lawns, flower
beds, fountains and music stands. A broad
piazza on the ground floor skirts each of
these gardens, and here the people con-

hotels is what is called the cottage portion
Here, instead of tiers of bedrooms, are suites
of rooms arranged so that each suite shall IN
clude parlor, dining-room, bathroom ana
bedrooms. Mr.. Vanderbilt always rented
one of the larger ground floor suites, with SIX
rooms, and paid s27 30 a day for the cot

The Vanderbilt heirs and their connections,

pew, of the New York Central, and host OF
notables live in this way while at the springs.
They rent the cottages furnished as rule
but often add appointments brought from
their homes. Their meals are served III the
cottages from the hotel kitchens.
Saratoga is masculine resort. TO be sure
there are thousands of ladies there in the
season, and the place is famous for the dls-
plays of millinery and Of gowns that lllu-
inmate the piaZzas, parks and drives. Never
theless the main features Of the place-the
great gambling clubs, the race-track lnllu-
ence, the drinking and dining resorts-all
mark the place as distinctiyely masculine. IL
is also distinctivelv New Workers resort
In the crowds on the main street, at the race
track or in the dining-rooms, metropolitan
man feels at home, because he is surrounded
by familiar faces and by acquaintance and
friends. The village is indeed beautiful
one and is surrounded by a country OF eX-
quisite fertility and scenic charms. The
fouthills Of the Adirondacks are visible

IN the one hand and the peaks of
the Green and White mountains rise on
the other, but very family and far away.
Springs Of medicinal water, impregnatcd
with half hundred different chemicals,
burst through the earths crust every here
and there within the village and at intervals
along the roads leading out of it. 1t is the
custom in the morning for the guests at the
hotels to visit the principal springs before
breakfast, some favoring one water and
some another. Some of these wells are in
closed within buildings and one is in a very
beautiful and elaboratelv cultivated open-air
park. In either case the visitor pays an
admission fee of five cents and drinks as
freely as he cares to, the spring water being
the better, as rule, for the waters are nearly
all powerful.
After breakfast, there is always a dull
forenoon, during which the visitors lounge
about the hotels, but after dinner it is the
fashion to drive to the lake, and appar-
entity nearly every one follows the custom.
Nowhere, not even in Montreal or on FIT h
avenue, is there such a display of costly
equipages and rare hOrsetiesh as is seen on
the road, the race track and toSaratoga lake
on every fine summer afternoon. The lus-
trous, heavy, rumbling landals, led by sleek
horses harnessed with shining and clanking
chains, roll along the level country road in
scores with their loads of well-dressed men
and women lolling placidly back on the
yielding cushions. Phaetons and graceful
victorias are plentiful, and every now and
then one hears the rat-tat of /. racers hoofs
and sees some well-known horseman flying
behind the cleaning shoes with his body
bent forward above light skeleton wagon
and his muscles and nerves strained to main
tain the.mastery of his steed.
There is nothing peculiar about the race
course, except that it is a very fashionable one
and has always been well and fairly managed
by noted sporting men; but the lake, further
on, is one of the crown jewels of Dame
Nature. It is lake of the kind peculiar to
this region, and of which Lake George is the
shining example and Lake Champlain is the
most considerable in size. Smaller ones of

gregate in the evening and listen to
the music or watch the glories of the
changing colored lights with which the
fountains are illuminated. The life in
these great caravanseries is complete in it
self. Very many persons who go to Sara
toga see little else that is enjoyable in the
houses where they are lodged. Two thou
sand guests form lively company, and with
half mile of hotel corridors and piazzas to
walk upon, with bar and billiard and bowl
ing-rooms with parlers for dancing and So
cable converse, with the music and gardens
and the constant tide of visitors from the
other hotels, to say nothing of the club
house at each hotel, where card-playing is
INDUCED in, there is little left to be asked for
by those who come primarily to rest and take
their ease.

Of sand in the barnyard, and
daily bombardment of stones
gave me all the excitement Of
war without any of its noNious
features. One bright Sunday
morning, when the soft spring
breeze was laden with sweet

The soldiers never came. Whether
they were warned that neighbor stall

the war clouds drew close to Us, so close

The clearness of the water in all of them is
one striking feature, but the beauty of the
shores is the most impressive charm they
possess. This Saratoga lake is long and
narrow, and is imbedded like a

rise steep and high above it, and everywhere
are clad with rich and dense vegetation.
There is no break or blemish anywhere in

A target is the yielding heart.

Concealed in beauty's culver.
